Default 17x8+35 front 17x9 +35 rear question.

I am looking into a set of volk wheels that im really interested in,did some research but couldnt find a definate answer.
Just wondering if this size and offset will be hard to fit onto my ap1
17x8+35 front 17x9 +35 rears too agressive? also what fender mods are involved?.

Rolled fenders, maybe a slight pull in the back depending on tire size. trim rear bumper, relocated bumper tab.
Relatively easy.

IMO, find other wheels. There are nicer looking wheels which fit better than these.

The above poster is right. You'll need extensive fender modification to fit these without rubbing.

I'm running 18x8 18x9 w/ +35 | +37 offsets. Tires are 215/40 245/35. I cut/rolled the fenders front and rear plus I'm running negative camber front/rear. With all of that being said it looks good and drives just fine. Minor rubs...you just have to be careful under full lock.

So just be aware it won't be simple bolt on. You would need to stay narrow on the tires as well.

thanks for help guys! appreciate it.
Fenders are already rolled just need to relocate bumper tabs.Maybe need pull we'll see once i get the wheels on.

i wasnt a fan of agressive offsets but after seeing the cars at the previous jdm meet,the flushness just caught my eyes hehe
these wheels are the ones i definately want (volk gt-u) they look similar bbs lm.

Im running cr kai's they are +45 offset just doesnt give that agressive look.But in saying that performance wise is much better
with the higher offset wheels.Any suggestion on suitable tire size?

Thanks again for all your help!!

(Hamy car looks awesome btw!)
